Outline two reasons why the change from tavy agriculture to agroforestry may be difficult to achieve.
tavy is a method that can be considered part of the local culture/traditions; people tend to have an aversion to change / do not trust change; if site conditions are poor, rehabilitation can take time / if soil is poor in nutrients it can be difficult to establish agroforestry / trees take time to grow so benefits would not be seen immediately; agroforestry cannot provide same products as traditional methods e.g. rice; lack of education to explain the advantages of alternative methods / lack of knowledge about agroforestry / agroforestry is a more complex system to farm / tavy is easier than agroforestry /agroforestry requires more work; lack of funds to promote agroforestry;
